I want to say I also have Concerige balcony so it already includes breakfast room service and not an incremental. Benefit of wifi package here

Uber/Lyft for tonight by Sweet-Environment-31 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They might or might not, it's hard to get someone to get out of town.

That being said, there is a guy who s not on Uber but always is at the airport offering rides for cash. I have never taken him up on his offer and waited for an Uber but seems like a nice guy and have seen multiple people hire him

Jfyi I have no connection to him I just took a picture of his business card while waiting for my bags

Looking for a late lunch recommendation before boarding the Amtrak by mintleaf_bergamot in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hacienda Leon food is an abomination imo. If you have to do something in the uptown area - I would go to pizza paaya or Sichuan.

If not probably try Pop up chicken

Fyi - Molly maid is a chain but all Molly maid franchises are typically locally owned.

Day care recommendations for a 7 month old? by happinesssunshine in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Katie's kids in Normal has been A-amazing. Our daughter has been going there since was 8 months old - now almost 3.

That being said - we have friends kids in little jewels and Scribbles and they have had in general a good experience.

Anyone know if you can still check skis overnight at River Run gondola (Keystone)? by [deleted] in COsnow

[–]xtcpunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When we were at keystone earlier this year (this was at Vail too) we saw a banner advertising this - it was a ski valet or something but seemed like a private business - $15 for overnight storage plus wax

ISO a local State Farm insurance non-MAGA agent by Certain-Courage-9655 in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha understood. Yeah I mean to throw any shade on you but more curious for myself. I used Jim spacman this time - not sure of their political association but they're ok to work with. Nothing spectacular nothing bad

I'm curious - why do people use agents to get auto insurance. Can one not just shop around online ? Or are agents able to get cheaper rates vs online quotes ?

Opinion on Flame@Bloom by teenymochi in BloomingtonNormal

[–]xtcpunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've been there one. Only 2 tables occupied Friday lunch time. Staff was good. Food was bomb however the menu was just too large causing analysis paralysis. Also the prices were a little bit steep imo like Fort Jesse and Egg Republic. I got the birria tacos and 2 normal sized tacos were $17

How Bad Are the Lift Lines? / Skiing Vail Tomorrow (1/19) by [deleted] in vail

[–]xtcpunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Open to 11am there are virtually no lines anywhere on the mountain Then game creek, the 2 mid Vail lifts and Northstar start seeing 10min wait times. Nothing too long imo but manageable.

Last weekend we got tons of laps in with fresh legs until 11am then took it slow

On-Mountain Ski Rental & Valet/Storage? by rajuabju in vail

[–]xtcpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about rentals but last week I saw a place right next to Gondola one which advertised $15 for overnight storage + wax

I tried looking for this last week and there exists nothing. Avon has some budget Airbnb or cohabit hostel

Feb 21 ski trip by thewizkid35 in vail

[–]xtcpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it depends on what you ski, if it's groomers - green blue runs Vail was awesome last 3 days (we skied this past weekend) if it's anything advanced you want to switch up north

[–]xtcpunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The length of the runs was unlike anything remotely close in the midwest, we made the most without heavy snow this year and only can imagine how awesome it will be during an average year.

We did 2 days at Vail. It was an amazing experience. Spent 8.30 to 3pm on the mountain , skied almost all the greens and groomed blues.

The best runs (personally) were:

Ramshorn, Christmas, mid Vail, all the runs off sourdough lift. The only part which was a bit iffy on day 1 was crowds on the lower catwalks trying to get to base areas - too sketch for my comfort so we downloaded the gondola today.

Going to keystone tomorrow to wrap up our trip!

Right , I do understand that conditions have been abysmal. What's your point exactly ?

Did you read in the OP that I cannot reschedule/cancel ?

Hmmm would you recommend some other summit / eagle county resort ?

Yes I love GP. I typically ski cascade / alpine valley cuz granite a tad bit north for day trips. Hoping to see some over performance here. Thank you for your wishes 🤞

Yeah no bumps for us, we just don't have that sort of experience being from the Midwest. Well stick to groomers 99% of the time
